About N•Focus

             Established in 2002 as a planning firm, N•Focus offers planning and project coordination services to municipal and county governments.  The firm also serves private sector clients to improve interaction with local governments.   After four years as a planning firm actively coordinating the efforts of numerous design and engineering firms for N•Focus clients, the firm expanded and introduced in-house landscape architecture, urban design, and civil engineering services.  Today, N•Focus employs numerous professionals in planning, design, and civil engineering and has plans to add office locations and additional disciplines during the near future.

             N•Focus is a network of regional offices, each locally owned and operated to the exacting standards set by the corporate office based in Kannapolis, North Carolina.  Our newest office in Asheville, NC organized in January 2003 as GreenPlan, Inc. and became a regional affiliate office in October 2009. N•Focus affiliates operate within the Southeastern United States.  N•Focus Design, Inc., the licensing corporation leading the franchise, is licensed in the practice of landscape architecture (#C-314) and civil engineering (#C-3072) by the State of North Carolina.  Affiliate offices are each licensed in the professions practiced within each individual office, although through the affiliate licensing agreement, staff from other offices and disciplines may collaborate to perform services anywhere within the service area where professional licensing will allow.  Each affiliate office is independently owned and operated under the exacting standards of professional ethics, business practices, and customer service.  These affiliate offices individually meet licensing requirements for the professional services they offer.

 

             While the N•Focus Brand is approaching one decade in the market place, the principals and staff are no strangers to local government.  Each of our Principals is supported by a network of staff that understands the importance of flexibility and creativity.  The project teams are hand-picked because of their experience, skills, and passion to accomplish, with principal involvement on every project.  The difference is clear.

Commitment to Service

             We believe that quality is a key factor in any project.  N•Focus works hard to ensure the best products are delivered on time.  To ensure the timely completion of projects, we work with the client during the planning phase to understand all their goals and needs.  This allows clients to manage the budget and prepare for the upcoming phases through completion.

             Each discipline, planning, design and engineering, is actively communicating during the entire process.  By understanding the needs of the client, the reality of the location, and a depth of background knowledge provided by each of our three perspectives, it is possible for N•Focus to provide a ‘turn-key’ service.    We believe that a good project will result from collaboration with local governments.  All of our services reflect the highest quality in service, a commitment to sustainability, and a social responsibility to the public.  By working from the very start to prioritize those key components, and by opening a dialogue from the beginning to engage the stakeholders, N•Focus can guide a project through the approval process all the way to completion.
